James Orlos

On the morning of Saturday, October 17, 2020, James Orlos, 73, of Manteno, passed away after a short battle with cancer at Riverside Medical Center. He was born January 26, 1947 in Chicago, a son of John and Frances Orlos. On June 24, 1967 he married his high school sweetheart, Jean Robinson. They were married for over 50 years.
